Rapier - Markdown Editor & Art

Write your Markdown files in Rapier inside VS Code: the same editor as the site.

  • Formatted or source. Write in the formatted view; Ctrl+/ shows the source.
  • Everything in the file. Tables, checklists, math, Mermaid diagrams, comments, find and replace, compare.
  • The file is unchanged except for your edits. VS Code saves it. Line endings, the byte order mark and the final newline stay as they were.
  • Pictures. Pictures next to the file show in place. A picture you paste or drop is saved next to the file.

Open a file in Rapier

  • Right-click a Markdown file and choose Open in Rapier, or use the Rapier button in the editor's title bar.

  • Or Open With… > Rapier.

  • To open every Markdown file in Rapier, add this to your settings:

    "workbench.editorAssociations": {"*.md": "rapier.markdown"}
    

Saving, Undo and keys

  • An edit in Rapier is an edit of the file in VS Code. Save, Revert and unsaved changes work as for any file.
  • A change made elsewhere, in another editor or by Git, shows in Rapier where you were.
  • Undo and Redo are Rapier's, from its keys and from VS Code's Undo.
